(Hong Kong, Tai Wai)
I heard there are so many famous restaurants in this neighborhood
I've also heard about it from the locals here
They also said that about Tai Wai
(Locally approved)
The person who told me is in a soccer team
And the team usually have team dinner here
Because there are so many good restaurants here?
I also looked up the place we are going today
And apparently it's one of the popular restaurants
Oh, is it?
It’s super crowded
A real local spot with authentic vibes
(A worn-out exterior)
(Crowded inside)
The menu’s actually
It seems super authentic…
With so many choices
As I scanned other people eating
And the chicken looked so delicious
Okay
So we can try the chicken first of all
They have a picture for it
Right here, this one
(Bottom right)
This is the chicken
Right
(Hesitating)
There are so many people here
(Stuck in denial)
I’m still…
Getting used to be in a crowded room
(Tough environment)
Why are you
So intimidated the moment you came in?
I’m not intimidated…
Then what
More like
I’m vibing with this place
This Hon Kong vibe
I see~~
You are feeling the Hong Kong vibe right now?
I’m having so much fun
I don’t even know these people in front of us
But… we’re just having a conversation
Yea, right
They even helped us with the menu
Brought them for us, too
I am so..
So thankful
I am really grateful
People are warm-hearted for sure
But, it's so loud in here right now
Actually, I...
Actually, I can't hear you well?
You can't even hear me?
No, I can't
(Noise pollution)
(Drinks arrived)
You enjoy this kind of vibe, right?
Thinking
I think it's alright
It feels like being a countryside
I think you like that kind of feeling
A little bit...
Yes, you are right
I also...
I enjoy feelings that are warm and kind
Places like this are perfect for those kind of people to come
But what's interesting for me is
(???)
It's kind of
A famous restaurant on Instagram
Right, that's right
But when I think of famous restaurants on Instagram
I imagine something unique and refined
Don't you think so?
You are right
Clean and
Modern style
This place feels like
It's been open for decades
I see your point
Unexpectedly, there are
Many restaurants
With long history and tradition
But first of all
There are so many customers
I mean, they even have to cram six people
Into a four-person table!
There are a lot of people, but the restaurant isn't that big
That's what I'm saying
It looks even more cramped
It feels like there are 100 people in here
I feel like I'm in a movie called "Train to Busan"
(Like living in a movie)
Meal arrived
This is amazing
This is the signature menu
They serve a lot and it looks so delicious
When the person sitting inside needs to get out
(Acting nervous)
We all have to push our chairs in
And new customers need to come inside to sit
And the waitress needs to clean up the empty spots
(Confusing)
It's so chaotic
Too chaotic
(probing)
This sauce..
I think I know what it is
What's this?
What kind of sauce is this?
I think it's like black pepper
No?
I think there is sesame flavor inside
Ah this is
not spicy
But a bit lightly
Salty sauce
Is it light?
Yes
(Drained in sauce)
(Tries the first bite)
(Surprised)
Are you Korean?
Yes
(A staff member tries to start a conversation)
Asking if I am Korean
The lady was so scary for me
She kicked the chair
(A tough lady)
As working in a places like this
They just can't help but become tough
Is that so?
Because there are tons of people
If you be nice in this situation
It definitely would go south on them
Right, right, right
There is the need to be strong
There'a a beef dish in Cambodia
Yes
That dish is served with some black pepper
Salt and sugar mixed all together
- As dipping sauce for the meat - Is that so?
This dish reminds me of that in a very similar way
(Memories)
I think this is
Also served with plain rice
But it's even better with the fried rice
Yeah, right
I think the small dish they give you here is
For putting bones or things like that
Because there are lots of bones in the chicken
I looked at the menu earlier
There were several choices for the meat
You can make it boneless chicken
Or only chicken breasts
There were lots of choices like them
If you pay an additional fee
We just ordered the regular style
But I think it's not alright to order just like this
But this
I'm not overreacting
The chicken...
... It feels different
This chicken is more chewy
(Evaluating)
I was hungry, and there were too many people
I was having some hard time
(Difficulties)
But after one bite, I feel a lot better
But you know what the worst scenario is?
We were so hungry and the place was noisy
And then the food is served
But it tastes bad
Oh, no no
Wow then...
Then the stress will hit me three times as hard
You know, right?
(Observing)
I used to
Like the skin only
When I ate at school
But this they make the meat also so good
The meat is really soft and delicious
It's quite a generous portion
The portion is...
While eating this
The portion is no joke
(Full)
I think there are
Two sizes for every menu here
One is the size that is served in a bowl
And the other is the size that is served in a large plate like ours
(Choose one or another)
We ordered the large bowl-size
And the portion is quite large
I think it would be delicious even if we just eat the fried rice
The combination of the fried rice and the chicken is
They surprisingly go well together
There is so much delicious food like this
Why wouldn't they serve it at school?
(A lament)
I really want to eat vegetables
But I can’t
Why?
Because they don’t taste good
The veggies?
Yes
(Childish taste buds)
This is Choy Sum, which you often see in Hong Kong
Weren’t there similar dishes like this in Cambodia?
There’s something similar
There is?
Barbecue recipes seem to be somewhat similar
Across Southeast Asia
It's not really a menu you dislike, actually
You are right
I really like this type of food
In a restaurant like this
You’d probably get scolded for sitting too long after eating
You’re right
You need to leave quickly after eating here
People are waiting again
Oh, are they in line now?
Wow
I want to eat quickly, but I have a lot on my plate right now
So I’m not able to eat fast
I think just the rice, like this fried rice is
Already a lot
On top of that
They give you almost half a chicken
So it feels like there are even more to eat
If you can’t eat a lot, you can order a smaller size
Yeah, that should be enough
I’ll probably order a smaller bowl next time for my diet
(A generous portion)
We ate so much that we don't need to eat dinner
I know, right?
(It’s like one meal that counts as two)
Oh, another great thing is that
It’s not just the large portion, it's also really delicious
Oh, it was really good
A place that has both great taste and generous portion
It’s the most delicious chicken dish I had
In Hong Kong
Number one
Number one chicken dish
(27,600 KRW) We paid 156 HKD
(13,800 KRW) 78 HKD per person
It is a bit expensive
For a normal lunch
I think so, too
So we need to consider the amount of food
People
Right, right
Shouldn't prejudge just by looking at the price
Right, right
It makes sense when you look at the amount of food
Right, right
I will continue our trip
With finding more delicious restaurant
Joigin (bye bye)
